Title: On Accuracy, Communication and Comprehensibility When Learning Chinese
Body:
The author shares that learners used to focus on grammar and character accuracy but not the purpose for communication. The post brings up the fact that some minor errors in characters and grammar will not affect the comprehension and communication. Learners are highly encouraged to make an effort for producing the language for communication as an overall goal first. Finally learners will reflect on their own learning progress and seek possible ways to improve their proficiency and accuracy.
